The television show Henry was not widely watched until it was scheduled for Tuesday evenings immediately after That’s Life, the most popular show on television. During the year after the move, Henry was consistently one of the ten most-watched shows on television. Since Henry’s recent move to Wednesday evenings, however, it has been watched by far fewer people. We must conclude that Henry was widely watched before the move to Wednesday evenings because it followed That’s Life and not because people especially liked it.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) Henry has been on the air for three years, but That’s Life has been on the air for only two years.
(B) The show that replaced Henry on Tuesdays has persistently had a low number of viewers in the Tuesday time slot.
(C) The show that now follows That’s Life on Tuesdays has double the number of viewers it had before being moved.
(D) After its recent move to Wednesday, Henry was aired at the same time as the second most popular show on television.
(E) That’s Life was not widely watched during the first year it was aired

Manhattan Prep Official Explanation
Answer choice (C) is correct
We are asked to strengthen the conclusion that the show Henry was widely watched because it followed That’s Life rather than because people liked it. The evidence is that when Henry followed That’s Life, it was widely watched, and since it was moved, it is watched by far fewer people. We should anticipate that a correct answer will most likely give us additional evidence that Henry’s placement after That’s Life was essential to its success. A correct answer might also give us reason to believe that Henry was not watched because people especially liked it.
(A) does not tell us anything about why the show was popular when it followed That’s Life or why it declined in popularity after the move.
(B) tells us that the show now occupying Henry’s old slot is not popular. This hints at the fact that following That’s Life does not guarantee success, and therefore weakens the argument.
(C) adds direct support to our conclusion. If another show has doubled its audience since being placed after That’s Life, we have an additional reason to believe that That’s Life contributed to Henry’s popularity as well.
(D) offers an alternate explanation of why fewer people watched Henry after its move. This is another weakener.
(E) is a premise booster. We already know the show was not popular right away.

Conclusion:"... conclude that Henry was widely watched before the move to Wednesday evenings because it followed That’s Life and not because people especially liked it"
Which one strengthens the conclusion the most?
My answer is C.
Reason: The show that now follows That’s Life on Tuesdays has double the number of viewers it had before being moved.
Increasing the number of viewers by being aired after "That's Life" on Tuesdays strengthens the conclusions.
